Abstract

The article, based on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, determined the efficiency
of investments from the period of 2007-2013 in individual Polish airports. The applied DEA model
was aimed at maximizing effects. The following variables were adopted in the model: 1 input (the total
value of funds allocated for investments in 2007-2013) and 5 effects (increase in the number of
passengers served, increase in airport operations (ATM), increase in the number of parking aprons,
increase in the number of direct regular destinations, increase in the number of gates). 6 airports
showed the efficiency of the investments. For other airports, according to the benchmarking idea,
changes in the level of effects were proposed that could improve their efficiency.

Polonya’da Bölgesel Düzeydeki Özel Havalimanı Yatırımlarının Etkinliği

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Veri Zarflama Analizi kullanılarak, Polonya’da 2007-2013 yılları arasında bölgesel düzeydeki özel havalimanı yatırımlarının etkinliği ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır. Veri zarflama analizi etkilerin maksimize edilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Girdi olarak 2007-2013 yılları arasında yatırımlara ayrılan tutar ele alınmış ve etkisi ölçülecek çıktılar olarak da yolcu sayısındaki artış, haavalimanı hizmetlerindeki artış, apron sayısındaki artış, doğrudan düzenli uçuş yapılan destinasyonlardaki artış ve uçuş kapılarındaki artış olmak üzere beş değişken belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak altı havalimanı yatırımlar açısından etkin olarak bulunmuştur. Diğer havalimanları ise karşılaştırmalı olarak etkinliklerini artırmaya yönelik düzenlemeler yapmak durumundadırlar.
